It's September 7th. I'm now at the airport with Melody and Kurapika and we are saying our goodbyes to Leorio.

I hugged Leorio goodbye and we walk to our airship. Leorio then stops us.

"Hey girls, can you come here for a bit", he asked.

Both Melody and I walked over to him.

"Please keep an eye on him. He acts calm, but he can be reckless. He's smart, but he doesn't always think things through. I notice he opens up to you both, so could you keep him in check?", he asked of us.

"Of course Oreo", I replied with a smile.

"Sure thing. You're very soothing, you know? Out of all the heartbeats in the city, yours is the most pleasant. It's soft, uplifting and incredibly warm as well. I'd think you'd make an excellent teacher, or maybe even a doctor", she said.

"Hear that? It must be destiny!", I replied giving him a playful punch.

We both smiled at him and caught up with Kurapika to go through security. We then boarded the airship and head off to the Nostrade Mansion.

I sat by the window beside Kurapika. Melody was talking with Basho near us.

"Do you plan on continuing this job?", I asked Kurapika.

"Yeah, most likely. I'm going to need money to get the my eyes back. This job pays pretty well, so I'll probably stay. What about you?".

"To be honest, I'm not sure what to do", I replied.

"What do you mean?", he asked.

"I know they come from Meteor City. So technically, I could just head over there and get her back. But, that's easier said than done", I said.

"I really don't want you to face them alone. Do you even have a plan when you get there?", he questioned.

"No. I don't really want to go there either. But if I do nothing, she's going to become one of them. I don't want her to become a Spider. And it's not just that though, even if I do save her, it's not like I have a place for her to be safe at", I answered.

"What about your Ma and Pa?", he asked.

"I don't want them to take care of her for me. She has her ability as well. If she can really kill them, I don't want her to stay with them. Pakunoda explained that her ability is still heavily unknown, it would be way too risky", I said.

"We'll figure something out later, just try to get some sleep. When was the last time you had a good nap?", he said.

"What? I should be asking you that, your eyebags look terrible!", I replied with a chuckle.

"So do yours", he replies with a chuckle. "We've both been stressed out with our own problems, but I say let's just take a nap while we head back to the mansion. You've taken great care of me, now let me do the same for you".

He then gently pushes my head onto his shoulder and stroked my hair. I was surprised a bit at first, but I found it quite comforting. Not long after, I drift away into a nice, long nap.

At around 4:35 pm, both Kurapika and I were awoken by a familiar voice.

"Hey kids, we're here", Basho said as he looks over to Melody with a smirk.

"What?", replied Kurapika.

"Oh nothing~", Basho replied.

We all boarded off the airship and head into our rooms in the mansion. We all had rooms in the same hall, but it was sad to see so many empty rooms. It's around 5:30 now, and I've settled into my new room. We were given the rest of the day off, but I didn't have anything I really wanted to do. I didn't want to bother Light with my problems, and I honestly just have no clue on what I should do now. I originally applied for this job so I can get in contact with the Spiders, and I did. I got the information I needed to know, so what now?

I then change into something light and comfortable and look out the window. I saw a large garden, and it was beautiful. I walk out of my room and head over there to explore. It was even more beautiful to witness down here. There was a large stone fountain in the center of it all, and beautiful archways that lead to a pond. There were plenty of lily pads across it, along with frogs. It felt like I was in some kind of fairytale scene you only read about. I let one the frogs jump and rest on my hand as I sit on my knees. Around five minutes has passed now, as I continued to admire the scenery around me with all of the dragonflies and other creatures around me.

"Who's your new frog friend?", asked Kurapika.

"Huh? Oh hey Pika. This is Bean, and he's very cute", I replied with a smirk.

"Why hello there Bean, I'm Pika", he replies with a chuckle as he sits down beside me.

"What are you doing here?", I asked as I continued to pet the frog.

"I got bored so I decided to explore the mansion. What about you?", he asked.

"I saw the garden from the window in my room and was curious about it. It's quite a beautiful sight to witness right here", I replied.

"I agree, it's like something you'd see in a movie, or read in a book. It's quite peaceful", he said.

We were then silent for a few minutes as we listened to the water falling from the fountain, the birds chirping in the nearby trees, and frogs croaking in front of us. The frog I named "Bean" was still chilling in my hand.

"Do you plan on doing anything tonight?", Kurapika asked.

"No, why?", I answered.

"I plan on heading to the local town. I'll probably do a little shopping and get some dinner, do you want to come with me? I'd like to go with a friend", he replied.

"Yeah, sounds fun. It sounds better than doing nothing all night", I replied.

"Great! I'll meet you at the front gate at 6:30. Does that sound good?", he said.

"Yeah, see you then", I replied.

"Ok, make sure to wear something warm though. It's going to get chilly", he said.

"Will do", I replied with a wave as he walks out of the garden. I then lowered my hand to a lily pad for Bean to jump on to, and start walking back to my room.
